Down the Milkylane

The franchise Ola Milkylane opened its doors to the Mauritian public at Trianon Shopping Park in January this year. A well established South African brand, it claims to be devoted to making icecream an 'experience'. Last Friday Angele and I decided to go there for a mini dessert party.

Ambience

It's open, relaxed and colourful. I like.  

Quick Menu Overview 

The menu looks so drool-worthy, and you'e incredibly spoilt for choice. There is a really wide range of desserts, including cheesecake, muffins, brownies, banana splits, and so many different variations of iceream spinners, waffles, pancakes, icecream sundaes, hot drinks and milkshakes.

We were quite a bit surprised to see savoury items (savoury pancakes, waffles and cheese griddles) on the menu as well because we had originally thought that Milkylane served sweet stuff only. So Angele and I decided to try the Cheese and Salsa pancake before attacking dessert.

Lunch is here

Cheese and Salsa pancake

The pancakes were light and airy, as pancakes should be. They were actually pretty good, although not really mind-blowing.

Want to know what we had for dessert afterwards?....Well, nothing. We didnt have dessert in the end, more like, we couldn't. I blame these: 

Soda floats

Coke and Sprite, topped with Ola Soft and Cream (Regular)

We ordered these as drinks, and as hard as it is to believe, these little monsters fill you up so much. We could hardly get up afterwards lol. The topping is absolutely delicious, and although the soda's taste is slightly altered it's still good.

Remember Creme Soda? The acid-green soda that used to be sold in Mauritius so many years ago?

Well, they have it on the Milkylane menu. As soon as I saw that I immediately went into 'OMG I WANT' mode. But it turns out that it's only on the menu, and not actually being served. So disappointing. I really wonder why it was discontinued. There are so many memories of my childhood in that one can of green fizzy soda.

Anyway, we got some doughnuts for the road. Not really Krispy Kremes (which are the best ones I've had till date), but they are some of the best ones I've eaten in Mauritius anyway, so thumbs up :)

I want to go back to Milkylane again sometime soon to try its cheesecake and sundaes. Have you been there yet? What did you eat? And how was it?
